[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 610868, member: 84"] There are a wide variety of ways. A pet rescue is best because their requirements are strict for adoption. However an ad can be placed online via pet finders or craig's list ect. But a rather high rehoming fee needs to be required and enforced. (at least over 50.00 is recommended) Why? Because a new craze is puppy/dog "flipping". Persons will pose as a dog lover and adopt a dog/pup from an ad, throw them into a crate when they get them home where the animal is lucky to get food/water and remains until said person has a prospective buyer from their own ad (and yes, the fee is all the market will bare). Once they have a buyer they will finally feed/water/bathe (because they rarely even let them out to potty) the dog/pup and the adoptee receives a traumatized malnurished dog/pup that often is sick. Sadly, most dog/pups stuck in the flipping system die before ever reaching an actual home. A high rehoming fee greatly reduces the chances of her dog being snatched up by a flipper. These people are in it solely for profit. Nichole has rehomed a few dogs over the past 2 yrs (not always her own). She requires a high fee to ward off flippers. She usually charges 75.00. As recently flippers (since folks are catching on to their scam) are willing to take a little less profit and pay lower rehoming fees. She learned the hard way. One of her beloved dogs Callie she thought she rehomed to a nice lady.......who turned out to be a dog flipper. Nichole found out when another woman, the very one who adopted Callie from the flipper, made her own post on craig's list IDing the flipper and when she posted Callie's photo of course Nichole recognized her immediately. Broke Nichole's heart. But in the end Callie has a fabulous loving home and Nichole keeps in touch with her new owner. Said flipper is facing animal cruelty and neglect charges and is STILL trying to flip dogs/pups. (pups are more popular the turn over is quicker) [/QUOTE]
